    these two were behind my house and that big one a mile from me. We were lucky this season on the border of all the bad reports from north and east in Indiana. We have the most deer I think I've ever seen currently.

    built a cute little insulated two man buddy blind from leftover materials this fall. Still debating where it needs to go. Built only because of fear of bullets from new leasing neighbors hunting. 5 evenings worth of work and weekend paint job.
